You could say you like baseball, and even if she's not a fan, she could understand/appreciate it. Then, try explaining to her about fantasy leagues, Fangraphs, the optimal version of WAR, maintaining Excel spreadsheets on salaries with hypothetical lineups projected out until 2023. :pound:
It's not difficult to envision what sort of reaction this might elicit. At that point, it wouldn't be very subjective!
